In many cases, audio is not available in easily portable formats such as .mp3. Instead, it is rushed to YouTube by those who attend lectures or seminars. YouTube .mp4 files are huge and hog bandwidth, they are not practical formats for mobile devices etc. and not as intuitive and user-friendly as tagged .mp3 files that can be library-indexed by iTunes, media player, VLC etc. on phones, tablets and PCs.

In the race to push information...these important details are often overlooked.]]>Audios and TranscriptionsTue, 13 Jan 2015 22:14:49 -0500Translating troid.ca Content - by: troid.org adminhttps://www.troid.org/forum/audios-and-transcriptions/2250-translating-troid-ca-content#2544

1. Be fluent in Arabic (assuming the source language is Arabic)
2. Be fluent in the conveyed language (i.e. English, French etc.)
3. Have fiqh (meaning that he/she is a student of knowledge who understands the context of sharī'ah terminology and its implications and historical usage etc.)

These were the conditions explained by Shaykh 'Ubayd, may Allāh preserve him.

This guidance was sought approximately 10 years ago, due to our shortcomings, we did not publish it (as it was a one-off question, not a QA session or lecture, also it was not recorded).

So in the case that the given article, book or audio is Arabic in its original source, we discourage translators from translating from other than the source (as Shaykh 'Ubayd advised). The reason for this being, as experienced translators will note, much is lost in the translation. Unlike English and French or Spanish and Italian (which are similar Latin-rooted languages), Arabic is very different to latin languages in its structure and grammar, words are not as often borrowed or shared. So to translate from Arabic to English and then to Dutch for example, is to take a translated conveyed meaning and interpretation and to dilute it further, taking it 2 steps away from the source language. In short, it is bad practice.

In another scenario, the source language may be English. So the translation would be one step, and likely to another Latin-based language. Even in this case, the translator should still take heed of the following:

1. Consult with the author, it could be that he/she isn't pleased with the works and doesn't want it spread more than it is, it could also be revised or updated from the version you have
2. Make sure that you are qualified to translate
3. Understand that the arabic terms and the Islamic understandings become your responsibility, it is a still writing and authoring, if you are not a student of knowledge, seek help from one to 'sign off' on your work
4. Do not rush to translate thinking: I want the ajr, it could be that you do more harm by producing unqualified works (which is the norm nowadays)

These are some points to ponder as many people are fluent in two or more european languages and are eager to convey knowledge.]]>Audios and TranscriptionsTue, 13 Jan 2015 21:57:46 -0500Common Errors (Advice to Writers/Transcribers) - by: troid.org adminhttps://www.troid.org/forum/audios-and-transcriptions/2244-common-errors-advice-to-writers-transcribers#2528
https://www.troid.org/forum/audios-and-transcriptions/2244-common-errors-advice-to-writers-transcribers#2528

1. Endnotes not footnotes: footnotes go at the bottom of a page, mostly, we use endnotes (end of a [web] document)

2. Sentence Fragment: A SENTENCE FRAGMENT fails to be a sentence in the sense that it cannot stand by itself. It does not contain even one independent clause. There are several reasons why a group of words may seem to act like a sentence but not have the wherewithal to make it as a complete thought.

In Japan, during the last war and just before the armistice.
This sentence accomplishes a great deal in terms of placing the reader in time and place, but there is no subject, no verb.

3. Englishisation of Arabic words: Not really an error but it would make more sense to say masājid/mosques than masjids since masjids is not an English word. By doing so we are adding words to the Muslim lingo but its not very academic. Alternatively, imams works because imam is in the english dictionary (oxford).

4. Missing Subject: Sentence Subjects. The subject of a sentence is the person, place, thing, or idea that is doing or being something. You can find the subject of a sentence if you can find the verb. Ask the question, "Who or what 'verbs' or 'verbed'?" and the answer to that question is the subject.

What he had already forgotten about computer repair could fill whole volumes,
—the simple subject is not "computer repair," nor is it "what he had forgotten," nor is it "he." Ask what it is that "could fill whole volumes." Your answer should be that the entire underlined clause is the simple subject.

5. Comma splice: A comma splice is the use of a comma to join two independent clauses. For example: It is nearly half past five, we cannot reach town before dark. Although acceptable in some languages and compulsory in others (e.g. Bulgarian), comma splices are usually considered style errors in English.

This is the most common error in English writing.

Fanning the slice of pizza with a napkin, Jolene waited for it to cool, she had already burned the roof of her mouth with the fried cheese sticks.

The first main clause is Jolene waited for it to cool, and the second is she had already burned the roof of her mouth with the fried cheese sticks. Notice that the two clauses have only a comma connecting them.

9. Misplaced modifier (where the subject of the modifier is unclear because the modifier was placed in the wrong spot): A misplaced modifier is a word, phrase, or clause that is improperly separated from the word it modifies / describes. Because of the separation, sentences with this error often sound awkward, ridiculous, or confusing.

The following sentence has an incorrect usage:

Having finished the assignment, the TV was turned on.
"Having finished" is a participle expressing action, but the doer is not the TV set (the subject of the main clause): TV sets don't finish assignments. Since the doer of the action expressed in the participle has not been clearly stated, the participial phrase is said to be a dangling modifier.

11. Pronoun errors: pronouns should agree in number, in person, and should refer clearly to a specific noun.

Incorrect: The characters in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night lives in a world that has been turned upside-down.
Correct: The characters in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night live in a world that has been turned upside-down.

Abu Iyaad began with the Khutbatul Hajah.
In the first part of this talk we established that Fasting/Saum is from the greatest affairs of Ibadaah/ worship due upon the body as an actualisation of the Tawheed of Allaah. Fasting is done for the Sake of Allaah and Allaah will reward for it in a way that is unlike other actions.

So this part of the talk will be the objectives a person wishes to obtain through fasting. One should ask,

“What is a Muslim seeking to gain from every Ramadhaan and his fasting?”

There are maybe four or five objectives that a Muslim should be seeking and taking advantage of or trying to fulfil by way of fasting and they are in no particular order. They can all be used as goals or objectives in which to analyse how you have benefitted and improved in Ramadhaan through fasting. They all return to our central theme which is a manifestation of Tawheed.

1. The first then is Du’aa.
Du’aa is from the greatest types of worship.
Everything that takes place takes place by the Qadr of Allaah; the benefit and the harm.
Du’aa is the greatest types of worship as it can have an effect upon the Qadr.

There are daily supplications adhkaar of the morning and evening.

In Ramadhaan specific du’aa are made.
1. Du’aa at the time of opening the fast.
ذَهَبَ الظَّمَأُ وَابْتَلَّتِ الْعُرُوْقُ وَثَبَتَ اْلأَجْرُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ.
‘The thirst has gone and the veins are moistened, and reward is confirmed, if Allaah wills.’

'O Allaah, guide me along with those whom You have guided, pardon me along with those whom You have pardoned, be an ally to me along with those whom You are an ally to and bless for me that which You have bestowed. Protect me from the evil You have decreed for verily You decree and none can decree over You. For surety, he whom you show allegiance to is never abased and he whom You take as an enemy is never honoured and mighty. O our Lord, Blessed and Exalted are You.’

These are tremendous words that manifest Tawheed
We must stick Sunnah when we say these supplications.
Ibn Uthaymeen explains that
to increase on this supplication in Qunoot is not prohibited but one begins with what is established.

Ibn Taymiyyah also explains that du’aa have to be restricted to Qur’ān and Sunnah and the best are those that have been established in Qur’ān and Sunnah. It not for anyone to institute people to innovate du’aa for people to repeat in unison.

One should make as much du’aa as possible in Ramadhaan as there is an emphasis on making du’aa.

The du’aa of the fasting person is answered as mentioned in a narration that the Du’aa/ supplication of the
1. Fasting
2. Traveller
3. The oppressed one.
are answered by Allaah.

First objective is to make du’aa by sticking to prophetic du’aa and no du’aa will go unrewarded.

Never say my du’aa has not been answered. There could be so many evils repelled unknown to him.
For there are three possibilities from a du’aa that is made. A person may:

1. Get what he/she asked for.
2. Evil repelled from him/her.
3. The du’aa is saved for Yaumal Qiyāmah.

2. The second objective or goal to attain is to actualise the awareness of Allaah.

To be mindful of Allaah’s knowledge of you. In Arabic the word muraqqabba is used. There is no clear one definition but it can be explained as being aware and mindful of Allaah.
Ibn al Qayyim explains that the muraqqabba of Allaah is to worship him through His Names.

1. Ar Raqeeb - The One Who is Watchful –Ever Watchful.
2. Al Haafidh - The One Who is Guarding and Preserving.
3. Al Alim - The One Who is All Knowing.
4. As Samee – The One Who Hears Everything.
5. Al Baseer- The One Who Sees Everything.

These are five Names of Allaah. Whoever worships Allaah through these five Names brings about the muraqqabba of Allaah through which a person seeks his fasting to bring him closer to Allaah.

This encompasses the worship of Allaah by Knowing His Names.
Just as the Tawheed of Ibadaah can be actualised by Knowing that Allaah is
Ar Razzaaq the One who sustains all that exists.
That Allaah is Dhul Qoowatul Mateen – The Possessor of Intense Power and Ability.
In this way a person will develop tawakkal (trust) upon Allaah.
So certain Names are tied to certain types of worship. A person takes the ways and means that draw out the traits in a believer and in his heart.
This brings about the worship of the heart.
The Love -Hope -Trust -Fear of Allaah.
The one who understands and worships Allaah upon this will attain muraqqabba.
Indeed Fasting is a secret between you and your lord.
You are trying to attain muraqqabba.
The connection between Tawheed in this tremendous act of worship.

Fasting has an amazing effect on the outward and inward faculty of the body and heart. It returns the heart and body back to health from the desires that it was engulfed in and keeps it sound and healthy. In rectifying all of person because a person becomes conscious of his whole self. His hearing, sight etc.
He refrains from food, drink, sexual relations but he also restrains his conceptual faculties. His ears from listening to evil, his tongue from lying and backbiting. All his faculties are fasting in obedience to Allaah alone.
He should also feel serenity in his body and heart. A tranquillity whilst fasting.

All this will lead to you to feel muraqqabba-an awareness of Allaah.

So a person should feel different while he is fasting.
The day you are fasting and not fasting are not equal or the same. They must be different.

Abu Hurayrah radiyallaahu anhu said the fast can be damaged. Backbiting damages the fast. He explained that seeking forgiveness mends the fast. You may have harmed your fast but you can repair and amend the fast with seeking forgiveness and making tawbah.

Ibn Rajab comments, our fasting is in need of seeking forgiveness. Righteous actions that will repair our fast. This is when one is Fasting in true sense. A person will preserve his head. One should remember death.
You do not know if you will reach another Ramadhaan.

So fasting is from the greatest ways to develop muraqqabba.

3. The next objective is recitation of the Qur’ān.
The Qur’ān was revealed in Ramadhaan. The entire Qur’ān is Tawheed.

Ibn al-Qayyim explained that every verse of the Qur’ān is from one of the five types of knowledge.

1. Qur’ān provides the Names and Attributes of Allaah.
2. Invites to the worship of Allaah alone or abandonment of worshiping other than Allaah.
3. Commands and prohibitions. These are the rights that follow on from Tawheed.
4. Information how Allaah honoured people of Tawheed. The reward for Tawheed and its people.
5. Information about people of shirk and how they were retributed and punished.

Every ayah covers one of these aspects.
The whole Qur’ān is Tawheed and was revealed in the month of Ramadhaan on the night of Laylatul Qadr.

Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn al-Qayyim explained that the words of the Qur’ān are learnt. Just as the meaning of the Qur’ān is learnt.
To teach the wording and the meaning of the Qur’ān.
The intent is to grasp the meaning of the Qur’ān. This is what will increase you in Eemaan.
To learn the Qur’ān and to teach it. To learn its meaning and to teach it. However, second is more noble. This is greatest goal and objective is to understand the meaning of the Qur’ān.
A person may read the whole Qur’ān in the month of Ramadhaan but it may not affect his Eemaan. Another person will read and reflect and act upon what is read with diligence this will affect his Eemaan.
This is not belittling the recitation of Qur’ān but the objective is to read with meaning and understanding. A believer tries to fill his heart with the meaning to increase his Eemaan.

The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur’ān, a guidance for mankind and clear proofs for the guidance and the criterion (between right and wrong).
Surah Baqarah 2:185.

All revealed Books were revealed in Ramadhaan.

Shaykh Al-Albani (rahimah ullah) relates a Hasan narration that
The Suhoof/ Scriptures of Ibrahim were revealed on the 1st night.
The Torah of Musa when 6 nights had passed. Injeel (Gospel) after 13 nights of Ramadhaan.
Az Zaboor (Psalms) after 18 nights had passed.
Qur’ān revealed after 24 had passed.

All these Books/ Scriptures revealed in Ramadhaan.

All this indicates tremendous nature of Ramadhaan and fasting and the revelation of scriptures.

Ibn Abbas radiyallaahu anhu said, the Prophet sallallaahu alayhi wa salaam was the most generous of people. There was more goodness from him then a wind would bring.

So far we have covered.
1. Increase in du’aa and connecting to Allaah.
2. Recitation of Qur’ān.

4. This leads to point seven and the fourth objective of Taqwa.
As mentioned in the Qur’ān,

O you who believe! Observing As-Saum (the fasting) is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become Al-Muttaqun (the pious - see V. 2:2).
Surah Baqarah 2:183.

Taqwa is to give obedience to Allaah. It has been defined as:
Acting in obedience to Allaah, hoping for his Mercy upon light from Him. Taqwa is leaving acts of disobedience, out of fear of Him, upon light from him.

Another explanation is proceed in the deen upon caution and care.
These are all ways in which Taqwa has been explained.
Fasting is a means to reach Taqwa. You are conquering your soul.
Ibn katheer (rahimah ullah) commented that it is purification of the body and fasting limits the way Shaytaan can approach a person.

We were with the Prophet sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam while we were young and had no wealth whatever. So Allah's Messenger sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam said, "O young people! Whoever among you can marry, should marry, because it helps him lower his gaze and guard his modesty (i.e. his private parts from committing illegal sexual intercourse etc.), and whoever is not able to marry, should fast, as fasting diminishes his sexual power."
Sahih Bukhari Book of Fasting

Fasting has affect for Shaytaan to not pass through his blood.

Our days upon earth are numbered. We have to reap rewards of these seasons of goodness; the season of Ramadhaan, the season of Hajj to benefit and to become pious. This might be the last Ramadhaan to fast.

5. This leads to the final and fifth objective. The purification of soul.

Fasting cleanses the body. Food and drink makes you sluggish. Shaytaan is unable to flow through a body that is fasting.
How achieve purification of soul?

The month of Ramadhaan is from the greatest of affairs in which the soul can be purified for in a Hadeeth it is narrated that Shaytaan flows in the blood.

Whilst in Ramadhaan the devils are chained.

Narrated Abu Hurayrah radiyallaahu anhu,
Allaah’s Messenger sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam said, "When the month of Ramadan starts, the gates of the heaven are opened and the gates of Hell are closed and the devils are chained.
Sahih Bukhari Book of Fasting.

So when the body is deprived of food and drink the circumstances that Shaytaan can flow in body is diminished and the stubborn shayateen are chained. It is the easiest of circumstances to make purification of soul. To trim, and remove diseases of soul.
A person should concentrate on purification of the soul.

The Prophet sallaaahu alayhi wa sallam would also supplicate for purification of the soul.

O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the inability (to do good), indolence, cowardice, miserliness, decrepitude and torment of the grave. O Allah! Grant me the sense of piety and purify my soul as You are the Best to purify it. You are its Guardian and its Protecting Friend. O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the knowledge which is not beneficial, and from a heart which does not fear (You), and from desire which is not satisfied, and from prayer which is not answered.

Muslim: Book of Supplications.

So he asked for refuge from a soul that is not content and du’aa that is not responded too.

So in this month of Ramadhaan it is too easy to purify the soul. It is the greatest time to achieve this. To purify the poisons of the heart.

Also he asked for protection from four things: knowledge that does not benefit, a heart that is not humbled, from a soul that is not satisfied and from a supplication that is not answered.

Put these five things in front of your eyes so that you benefit from Ramadhaan.

This is what you should be seeking and pursuing from your fasting and Ramadhaan.

Ramadhaan is an emphasis on Tawheed.

This is a tremendous understanding and pursuit in month of Ramadhaan.

«Place your hand at the place where you feel the pain in your body and say, 'Bismillāh (in the name of Allāh) three times, and say seven times, "I seek refuge with Allāh and with His Power from the evil that I find and that I fear'"»1

His statement: "From the evil that I find and that I fear" means from the evil of that which I find from affliction and pain, and from the evil of that which I fear, referring to that which I am afraid and apprehensive of.

This compromises seeking refuge from the pain from which he is suffering and seeking refuge from the pain that he fears will afflict him or he expects to afflict him in the future. So he [seeks refuge with Allāh] from his current illness becoming critical and intensifying.

This often happens to the person when he is afflicted with an illness, as he becomes worried and fears that the illness will become critical and that it will intensify.

So in this great supplication [the individual] is seeking refuge with Allāh from that.

A question posed to Shaykh Bandar b. Sulaymān al-Khaybarī
(Taken from an awe-inspiring talk aired by mpubs.org [class title referenced below])
Question:
Many of the Muslims in America are afraid that they are going to be oppressed because Donald Trump has been elected as a President. What is your advice for the Muslims in America?

Shaykh Bandar b. Sulaymān al-Khaybarī:
My advice is everything that we have previously mentioned in having Tawakkul in Allāh. Trusting in, depending upon and relying upon Allāh, in Allāh Alone.

And the Ḥadīth of ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAbbās, Raḍīallāhu ʿanhu, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to him,

"... know that if the whole of humanity were to gather for your sake, to benefit you, never will they benefit you except if it was something Allāh had already written for you. And if all of humanity were to gather together to try and harm you with something, never will they be able to harm you, except if it was something Allāh had already written for you. The pens have been lifted and the ink has dried."

So, the Muslim, the Muwāḥḥid, puts his trust in Allāh, not in his leaders. Even if an oppressive tyrant were to be in charge of a nation, it could be that the people could be safe from his harm, and the opposite can happen, even if a good person were to be in charge of a nation it may be that those people are oppressed with him being the leader of that nation.

So, the person should put their trust in Allāh, in Allāh Alone.

And it could be (unclear) disbeliever, the people could be treated justly under his rule.

We see that the Ṣaḥābah, Raḍīallāhu ʿanhuma ajmaʿīn, were the best of examples for us in this, and the aforementioned incident in which a number of the polytheist gathered to wage a war on them and wanted to totally annihilate them, they wanted to kill every person who called himself a Muslim.

And what was the response of the Ṣaḥābah? It was "Ḥasbunallāhu wa niʿmal Wakīl"sufficient for us is Allāh and what a great Disposer of affairs He is!

And because they put their trust in Allāh, Allāh says, {...and so they turned around with a blessing from Allāh and bounty.} Allāh gave them even more, even in spite of the fact that they were outnumbered and the enemy had more weapons, they turned around with blessings from Allāh in His Bounty.

And so a believer should never be afraid by the Shayṭān, the Shayṭān should never make a believer afraid and despair in situations like this.

On this day regarding Firʿawn Allāh said, “We’re going to preserve you or bring your body to salvation…” Meaning we’re going to save your body so that you could be a sign for those after you.

Listen to the correct Tafsīr of the verse; not the fake modern Tafsīr of the verse, pay attention. You’ve heard this verse mentioned in light of modern findings, right? That, Maurice Bucaille claims to have been researching on one of those Mummies of Egypt, he was told that this is the Pharaoh of the story of Mūsá, and Maurice Bucaille scientist said he found the positive salt in the throat area which means he died of drowning in salt water.

And so, he says in his story of how he accepted Islām that this is what led him to accept Islām, we say watch out for this premature affirmation of a miracle, before the rug is pulled out from under you and you say I have come to Islām because of this and then someone says, actually, after investigation we cannot actually conclude that with any type of certainty.

The reality is, the body of Firʿawn today is not known which of the bodies of these mummies is the Firʿawn or which body that’s been preserved or not preserved or whatever is the one of the Firʿawn; the Pharaoh of the time of Mūsá. We don’t know that. We don’t have knowledge of that; we don’t have any certainty in that. So as to build anything legitimate on top of that, yet people swear it’s true and people love to mention it like this fantastic miracle.

Yet, scientists will say that it’s just a doubtful matter, that it’s something that may or may not be true and we don’t want to say something is scientific miracle proven by the Qurʾān and then it’s actually not found or it’s not found to be true as you think it is.

So the Shaykh says,

“We save you through your body – We have preserved your body.”

The soul split away from the body.
Meaning, the death occurred, his death occurred. However, his body remained floating on the water.

Right, what’s the benefit of that?

Allāh clarified why that was done, the reason behind that.

“So that you would be a sign for those after you.”

Here's the reason, because the children of Israel, Firʿawn had terrorised them.

Had it not been clear with visual proof that Pharaoh himself had truly died in that event, had that not taken place for them to give them surety – imagine the tyrant that everyone is afraid of and it’s just said that “he died” and no one saw the body, versus “we saw the body floating on the water, we saw him dead” – this is the reassurance that Banī Isrāʾīl needed at that time to rest assure that what? They’re free of Pharaoh now.

So he (the Shaykh) says: without this, then they would have feared, they would have thought about different matters, that what if he didn’t die and what if he is still alive and what if he is still coming for us, every type of conjecture could have still come to them had they not witnessed his body, dead, on the surface of the water.

They could say, perhaps he didn’t die, perhaps he’s going to come at us from a different angle, so He gave them cooling to their eyes, He gave them relaxation. They would witness; be eye witnesses to his body:

Question
The ruling on a person who is mentally ill and becomes sick if she doesn't eat her essential pills every day during certain times of the day, is it obligatory for her to fast?

Answer
No. And the doctor/psychologist has advised her to abstain, what do you mean abstain? What do you mean she is to abstain? Not to do what? Not to fast?

Because if her situation was to (not clear) without the pills then she is excused from fasting and then in the future she becomes better, naʿam, if these are reliable and trustworthy positions then she can take their advice and she can break the fast and feed for each day a person if this continues with her after Ramaḍān.

If she recovers then in this case she can make up for it, may Allāh Subḥāna wa Taʿālá give her health and give her the cure, and may Allāh Subḥāna wa Taʿālá make this an expiation for her. [She has to] feed a poor person a meal; a lunch meal, a dinner meal, that's fine. And if she can give, if she can feed 30 people or 29, depending on the month at one time, then that's fine – separate days, that is fine. If she is unable to pay, she doesn't have the means to feed them, Alḥamdulillāh, Allāh Subḥāna wa Taʿālá does not burden a soul beyond its cope and nothing becomes upon him.
________

Question
A sister has missed many days from Ramaḍān due to weakness resulting in panic attacks, shaking and almost fainting. The sister has tried to make up the days, however she fasts one day and then her weakness returns and she has to wait a number of days to become better before she can continue fasting. The sister has almost 30 days of fasts that she has to make up. Is she included amongst those who are excused? Does she have to make up the days she missed or can she pay fidyah? She is extremely stressed out and upset and is still trying very hard to make up the days she missed.

[He said] Why we have what we call concessions or "رخص" in Arabic – because as we learn from the ḥadīth of the Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ) what it means, verily Allāh loves His "رخص" or His concessions to be taken or acted upon just like He likes the person to stay away from sins.

So Allāh Subḥāna wa Taʿālá Has mentioned in an āyah also, Allāh Subḥāna wa Taʿālá wants for you what is easy do does not want for you what is hard. All of this proves, [and] would not make a person wa iyādu billāh torment themselves or put themselves through hardship.

So, feeding a miskīn while you have the excuse to do so is permissible, so how, [as the Shaykh said], how are you putting yourself through this? And it leads you as you are describing in the question yaʿnī, the shaking and so on and being so weak and other than that of the symptoms that you are suffering from.

So break your fast [as the Shaykh said, ḥafidahullāh] and for every day that you break your fast, feed a miskīn.

[The Shaykh asks for the verse to be brought/read out – the Shaykh recites the verse]:

As the Shaykh told me to look at the āyah in Sūrat an-Nisāʾ verse 29:

"O you who believe! Do not eat your wealth amongst yourselves in falsehood except that is trade
of some sort [that both parties are pleased with] and do not kill yourselves. Verily, Allāh is Most Merciful of you."

The differences that occur between the scholars in this regards are of two types:

The first: (differences are) between Ahl al-Sunnah and the innovators.The people of ahl al-Sunnah are one side and the innovators are another side. With this regards she does not obey her husband if he is on the other side with the other position (of the innovators). She does not follow him in that regard.

The second: The differences based upon proof. Both parties of the scholars have proof which is sufficient for each of the parties. In this regards, if her husband follows a position and he is from the people of knowledge himself than she obeys him in the ijtihād (the striving he has made in order to follow a particular opinion based upon knowledge and proof) he has made.

However, if he is from the laymen than he has no right to make her follow him in the choice he has made because a blind follower cannot force another blind-follower to follow him.

As for the third type (the shaykh mentions a third type): one party of scholars have enough proof from authentic texts to make a consensus (ijmaa'). As for the other party of scholars, they only have for example; opinions. In this regards it is upon her to follow the texts and consensus (ijmaa') and if her husband is upon that than she obeys him upon that, if he only has opinion than she follows the texts and consensus (ijmaa')...

Excerpts from transcription:

"I’d like you to think about what would the case be if the reality with Allāh is that the image made with the camera is truly capturing that which Allāh made and is not creating a new image, if you stayed away from it what will be upon you on yawm al-Qiyāmah? If you were just fearful and you were afraid that it might fall into the generality of the prohibition and you stayed away from the camera and making images with it of living beings. What will be upon you on yawm al-Qiyāmah? What crime will you have to face? Nothing, because you didn’t make any pictures. And pictures turned out to be with a camera permissible and Allāh ta’āla knows the reality."

"The ḥalāl is clear, the ḥarām is clear and between the ḥalāl and ḥarām there are grey areas, matters that are confusing and not many people know the correct position in them. “Whoever stays safe from those grey matters those affairs of differing that the people don’t seem to know about clearly then he has protected himself, his honour and his religion. And those people who fall into the Shubuhāt (doubts) they fall into the grey areas between the ḥalāl and ḥarām where the people are confused they will fall into the ḥarām!"
"And just like the shepherd that allows his sheep to graze around a boundary that he has not allowed to cross, so long has he keeps letting his sheep go right up to the boundary the gate, right on the border sooner or later some of those sheep are going to jump over. And for every king he has boundaries (he has limits) he has posts in the land that you are not allowed to cross and those boundaries for Allāh are His prohibitions!”

"And as I have mentioned this issue I would also like you to think more deeply on this issue, remember the camera that a person uses a camera to make dozens or hundreds of pictures in a short amount of time and that a spirit shall be made for each image he made through it which he shall be punished additionally in the Hellfire as the ḥadīth we have studied today has proven. I would like you to think about something else to compare and that is the very definition of VIDEOGRAPHY."

The true definition of video, videography (various definitions):

Videography refers to the process of capturing of moving images on electronic media, video tape, etc.

Moving pictures.

"Look at the picture on the screen that’s called film, the film of a video, no matter what you use whether you’re using this old fashioned projector film or modern digital videography. You are capturing still frame after still frame! That’s why you have something in the video called frame forward and frame backward. The picture is not moving, the pictures are still images and they are played in rapid succession.""Thirty (pictures) per second on average! It may be sixty per second are flashed in front of the human eye in rapid succession, one after the other that creates the illusion of movement. It is very similar to the old fashioned way of drawing a picture in the corner of a drawing book, and you flip the pages and it looks there is a moving image."

"Videography to this day with all of the advances and all of the new equipment it is still photography that moves the images one by one. Are you clear on that? Video contains frames no matter whether you say it’s digital video or it is an old fashioned video camera on film and all of that and every video has frames. Every one of those frames is an image, is a still image, captured that did not exist until the picture maker took it."

"That image did not exist on that digital film that plastic film or traditional film until the picture maker until the cameraman took that image. That image has been created, that image has been produced and it did not exist before he made it, every one of those. So imagine, let’s say a generous sixty pictures per second when you make a video of one minute sixty seconds times sixty is 3,600 images! 3,600 images in one minute of videography."

Question:
Is it okay to draw, take pictures of flowers, natural scenery, mountains, etc. Does this fall under the prohibition of making pictures, also the use of smileys in text messages, emails, is this allowed? BārakaAllāhu fīk.
Question:
To deface a picture sufficient to deface the eyes or should we deface the whole face? For example, pictures in children’s book.

Question:
Is it permissible to use the various smiley faces, does the prohibition also apply to partial images of human beings such as a hand and eye. Also are silhouette of humans and animals allowed?

Question:
Is it permissible for a woman to get an ultrasound of the baby? That’s the image of the shape of the baby’s body.

Question:
What do you advise one to do if his parents have childhood pictures, etc. which they refuse to get rid of which they forbid you to destroy, should we destroy them anyway? Although the outcome and their reactions maybe very harsh or should we leave the sin to them?
These are just excerpts from the lecture, the questions are answered in the PDF and more information regarding videography is explained as well as other fawā'id.

I have replaced the first and last audio with other recordings. The quality isn't as good but there is no cutting. We have some problems with our audio software these days.

It shows how the salafī speakers in America were addressing the problems of Awlakī and his influence on Muslims long before he reached media fame.
The brother is asking a question about Anwar al-Awlakī, he said in the school the teachers of Arabic in Virginia.

First of all, I think that school was shut down by the American government and secondly I've been told just recently that Anwar al-Awlakī is in jail.
Question:
We have some of his (Anwar al-Awlakī) tapes... (question not finished/unclear).

Abu Tasnīm Dāwūd Adīb - hāfidhahullāh -

I would suggest that you don't listen to anything from Anwar al-Awlakī. Anwar al-Awlakī is a smaller version of Tariq Suwaydān. He's a smaller version of Tariq, a man named Tariq Suwaydān the Kuwaiti. He used to live in the United States, he got his PHD here in the 80s.

Anwar Al-Awlakī has a series of CDs, stories of the Prophets, and you'll hear him referencing Sayyid Qutb
in those tapes, in those CDs. Referencing Sayyid Qutb and also bringing narrations that are unauthentic, not clarifying that they're not authentic. He references quite a few times Sayyid Qutb.

Please notice that these notes are brief, somewhat summarised and slightly edited, intended simply for understanding. If there are any corrections or additional information needed, please do let me know. The link has been provided so that you can go through the classes individually at your own pace for self or even group study.

Imām Tirmidhī's kunya was Abū 'Īsā in al-Jām'i he preferred that he be called Abu 'Īsā, so when he would write he would write:

“…Qāla Abū 'Īsā…”

Some scholars disliked the kunya:

A man came to the Prophet ﷺ called Abū 'Īsā whereupon he said,"'Īsā didn't have a father."

It's been said that he was joking with his companion. This was how he used to joke with his companions. Notice the truthfulness in his jokes). Mughirah ibn Shu'bah had the kunya Abū 'Īsā, some say the Prophet ﷺ gave him this kunya.

Al-Mubārakfūrī said:

"There is no prohibition in taking the kunya Abū 'Īsā."

Imam Tirmidhī was blind. Al Mubārakfūrī also went blind in his last years.

This is stated in Tuhfat Al-Ahwadi bi sharh Jām'i Tirmidhī by Al-Mubārakfūrī (that At Tirmidhī was blind).
There are three ways to say Abū 'Īsā's name:

At-Tarmadhī

At-Tirmidhī

At-Turmudhī

All three are correct and but the most common and widespread is "At-Tirmidhī."
Khalq - physical attributes of a person.
Khuluq - inward attributesSarf is very important.

Shimāl means characteristic inward and outward – shamā’il is plural.

Anas b. Mālik: (he served the Prophet ﷺ for 10 years).
He was named, 'the possessor of the two ears.' - maybe he had large ears - a joke from the Prophet ﷺ.
Anas b. Mālik died: Over 100 years of age

The Last Companions:

The last Abu Tufayl Āmir al-Laythi was the last companion in Makkah.
Jābir b. ‘Abdillāh was the last companion in Madīnah.
Anas b. Mālik was the last companion in Basrah.

He ﷺ stayed in Makkah 10 years and Madinah 10 years.
He had twenty grey hairs his head and beard. (Abul Hasan asks why it is important to know this, why has this been stated): This is because of the diligence of the companions, i.e. they noted everything down!

The Prophet ﷺ was sent at the age of 40.

Ash Shawkānī: Allāh never sent a Prophet ﷺ except at the age of 40. He (Ash Shawkānī) also said, no Prophet came until the age of 40.Except 'Īsā b. Maryam.

This shows the respect for the elders. The man comes to his understanding at 40, rarely will you find a man changing his character and conduct after the age of 40 - this is what the ‘Ulama have said.

Virtue is in your elders. You should respect your elders. Ibn 'Umar never spoke at the time of the date tree out of respect because he was the youngest. Two twin brothers - the younger twin wouldn't speak unless the first one did, he wouldn't eat until the first one did. - respect and conduct.

The first house established for worship was al-Bakkah. Some dialects will exchange the meem to a baa.
Others have said: The whole of the city wasn't Bakkah, only the house it. - Imām Dhagawī

Ibn Hajar said his hair wasn't like the African (afro, kinky, tight curls) and not like Al Hind (Indians), straight hair. It was straight with a bit of a curl.

The Prophet ﷺ wasn't extremely pale or black rather he was tanned - red. Ahmār - he was brown, red complexion.

Yathrib came from a man who resided there called Yathrib – Fath al-Bārī, volume 7 pg. 236
Manawi in Sharh Muslim - Yathrib was the name of Madīnah in the time of Jahilīyyah but Allāh named it Al-Madīnatun Nabawīyyah – The city of the Prophet –

There's a narration where it's disliked to call Madinah Yathrib because it was used at the time of Jahilīyyah. It's disliked but not Harām. Some say it's not permissible whilst some say it's disliked.

Upon Anas b. Mālik: The Prophet ﷺ was of medium height, not tall or short, he had a very beautiful form, if he walked he would lean forward.

Shaykh Albāni said:"He used to lean forward or walk like he was descending like a ship, moving forward, smoothly."

Narration which is Sahīh:
The Prophet ﷺ was of medium height, with very broad shoulders, most of his hair would descend to the middle of his hair some say his shoulder.

The Prophet ﷺ would cut his hair and he'd grow his hair.

He said: in his sharh the majority of the scholars of ahadīth were non Arabs why? Because at the time the Arabs were concerned with leadership and the non Arabs were concerned with ahadīth.

A fact stated about Shaykh Al Albāni: I (Albāni) would hit the mark with a single word (in Nahw class).
Shaykh Albāni was first known as Arna'ūfi.

A Motivation To Learners Who Have “Past Learning Age”:

You can learn in your elder years, Tirmidhī studied Hadīth at the age of 25.

Adh-Dhahabī was diligent in seeking knowledge.

An-Najmi said about al-Qar'awi (his teacher) that he didn't start styling until the age of 30.
After the age of 31 studied Kutub As Sittah he read all the books in the Madrassah of Hind, etc.

Abul Hasan Mālik concludes this lesson by saying: Leave your old age excuses, don't want to hear about being non Arab, old age, these excuses are from laziness and the Prophet ﷺ sought refuge from this.

All praise belongs to Allāh may His peace and blessings be upon our final
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, his family, his companions and all those who follow his
guidance.

Subhānak Allāhumma wa bihamdika ash-hadu anlā illāha illa anta Astaghfirukā wa atubu ilayk
If I said anything correct, then it is from Allāh (subhānahu wa ta'āla), and if I erred, then that is from me and Shaytān.

Transcribed section from: "Advice to those Going to Study in the Islamic University of Madinah" by Moosa Richardson

“From a persons good practise of Islam, is that he leave alone matters that don't concern him”

The opposite of that is: From the good Islam of a person is his obsession or his concern, his devout concern with the things that concern him. That are related to him directly, connected to him.

So, this hadith is so undervalued with the Muslims today, with the Muslims who busy themselves with every issue, except what is in front of them, what they can benefit themselves with truly, matters beyond their control; conspiracy theories, world domination theories, masonic theories about who's behind this and who's behind that.

Things beyond their ability to control or have any influence on and the things that are within their ability to change, they're leaving it; sinful practises, disobedience to Allah, a person is fully capable of repenting yet he doesn't repent from those things. Yet he busies himself with what is way beyond his scope.

And our scholars of old, they recognised this hadīth as being so central to a persons religion. Some of the scholars said, that this hadīth alone;

“From a persons good practise of Islam, is that he leave alone matters that don't concern him”

Some of the scholars said, that this hadīth is the third of all knowledge, one-third of all knowledge. Being able to sort out what benefits you and what doesn't benefit you, attaching yourself to what benefits you, and discarding and ignoring and stay away from the matters that don't benefit you.

Allahu Akbar, ṭayyib, Abū Dāwūd, the great īmām, he said it is one of four hadīth that Islam revolves around. That this hadīth is one of four hadīth that Islam revolves around, sūbhānAllah.
And so he mentions (the hadīth) that we've already discussed here;

'Actions are but by there intentions'

He mentions, 'that the halal is clear, the haraam is clear'. The hadīth of N'imān Ibn Bashir, and then he mentions the hadīth

'Whoever does a deed in this affair of ours which is not from it, he will have it rejected'.

(Showing) the importance of following the sunnah and not innovating, and this hadīth, the (one of the) four hadīth that īmām Abū Dāwūd said 'Islam revolves around these four hadīth and he said, “it is sufficient for a man that he learns these four hadīth for his religion”.

Allahu Akbar, ṭayyib, so is this hadīth undervalued? Absolutely. For students of knowledge more than anyone else. For students of knowledge you find him on twitter, for students of knowledge you find him on message board, for students of knowledge, he has access to the 'Ulema, the time of a lesson, of a scholar, you find him on WhatsApp chatting in a group, you find him on social media; Facebook, things like this. You find him trying to build and develop a website, while his job in that land is to be a student of knowledge.

He can build, develop a website any time but he only has a few precious years maybe, he only has some moments that Allah has written for him to study in this land; the land of tawḥid, the land of the scholars. They are limited, right. And he is a guest in that country, he is not a resident, so he is not free to stay there however long he likes, right, no matter how hard he tries, he will find out the time comes and the welcome runs out, and the visa has an ending point.

So he will find out that his days are limited, as his stay in that place and so, of course, every student will say at the end of that time,

Below is the transcription of a tremendous lecture delivered by Abul Hassan Mālik based upon the advice of our noble and beloved Shaykh Rabi’ b. Hādī outlining the fundamental importance of clinging to the Manhaj as Salafi, along with a firm admonition to be wary of those who disguise themselves in the cloak of Salafīyyah only to call the youth to corruption and inevitable destruction.

The question is, in some places you find, like the airport a place of prayer, amusallah which is mushtariq, which is shared for the Christians and the Muslims and others, so is it permissible for the Muslim to pray in the likes of this place whilst upon his journey?

So the Shaykh said;

This place will either fall into one of two things. He said firstly, that in this place there is present the religious activities or religious signs of the Christians that will confuse the one who is praying from his Salaat. He said then in this situation, this type of place then you cannot pray in it, and he said that the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, ‘The ‘ard, (the earth) has been made a Masjid for me, and likewise a purifier’. So if the prayer arrives and one of you finds that the time of the prayer has come then you should pray wherever you are. Secondly that this place is empty; it doesn’t have any of their religious signs present, then the Muslim he can pray in this place if this is the case. He said, and he gave an example: like if there is a clear cross, then the person shouldn’t pray in this type of area, and he said whatever the case, it’s better if you can pray if there is another place you can use to pray then it’s better.

https://www.troid.org/forum/audios-and-transcriptions/2212-ruling-on-women-visiting-graves#2487Shaykh Ṣāliḥ b. al-Fawzān | Ruling on Women Visiting Graves - 05.07.1435

Question:
What is the reason why the scholars differed in regards to women visiting the graves?

Shaykh Ṣāliḥ b. al-Fawzān:The difference isn't one which is to be considered as a difference.
And the correct statement is that it is impermissible for them to visit the graves due to the statement of the Messenger صلى الله عليه و سلم

«لعن الله زوارات القبور»

"Allāh curses the women who visit the graves"

Or in another narration

«لعن الله زائرات القبور»

These narrations points to the fact that visiting the graves is from the major sins because Allāh curses those who do it and a curse isn't connected with any action unless it is major. And there is no proof that goes against these Ḥadīth's which has the same level of authenticity/strength.

End of translation

And Allāh knows best,

On another occasion he (the Shaykh) also said:

"But there is no harm if a Muslim woman was to seek forgiveness for the deceased or make supplications to Allāh for them or to give sadaqah on their behalf."

An excellent admonition against the foolish sympathisers of ISIS given by our noble brother Abu Iyaad Amjad Rafiq (hafidhahullah) via a series of tweets posted on Twitter.

See: @AbuIyaadSP via Twitter.com/AbuIyaadSP
The Prophetic treatment for the disease of the Kharijites who kill innocents:
"...I would slaughter them like the slaughtering of Aad."

O Ahmaq! Our speech against the Kharijites is due to veneration of the Shar'iah which prohibits the taking of innocent souls, and that includes both Muslim and non-Muslim lives. The Kharijites of ISIS have slaughtered more Muslims than non-Muslims. Your sympathy for these evil dogs shows you do not grasp the fundamentals of Islam, nor do you venerate the Shariah of Muhammad!

O Ahmaq! What has led to the raining of bombs upon these Kharijites, and in turn, collaterally, upon innocent men and women? It is because the whole world, Muslims and non-Muslims alike, know that their slaughter of innocents is not from the Shariah of Islam!
How does most of the world know this - inclusive of Muslims, Ahl al-Kitab, and Mushriks - and ignorant fools like you do not?

O Ahmaq! Did not the Prophet severely reprimand the one who killed a polytheist on the battlefield who had just uttered the kalimah? Then what about these Kharijite dogs of ISIS who slaughter those whose Islam is not even dubious but is known and established?

O Ahmaq! You dislike the statement of the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam), "I would slaughter them like the slaughtering of Aad" And you detest the Prophetic statement about the Kharijites, "The most evil of the creation (khalq, khaleeqah)." And you detest the Prophetic statement about the Kharijites, "The most evil of those killed beneath the canopy of the sky..."

O Ahmaq! Do you not see that ISIS make takfir of Nusrah and Nusrah make takfir of ISIS and do you not see ISIS severing the heads of al-Nusrah and al-Nusrah severing the heads of ISIS?This utter oblivion and utter blindness to the realities (shar'an and qadaran) is what will eventually lead people like you when you hadd hawaa to all of that, to be from the followers of al-Dajjaal who will appear in the midst of the Kharijite armies; and that's another Prophetic hadeeth that you and your likes detest!
So leave aside this fake, pretentious concern for "women and children" for you are not more concerned for innocent life than the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) whose Shariah prohibits the taking of innocent life and for which you have no respect.

O Ahmaq! Who does not use the faculties of hearing, seeing and feeling in the heart! Name me one Prophet who called to Islam through the severing of heads! Name me one Companion who called to Islam through severing and display of heads as trophies!

O Ahmaq! Who has not grasped the basics of Qadar or the Shar' (legislation)! The heavens and Earth were created upon truth (haqq) and justice (qist, adl); and the Shari'ah is founded upon adl (justice), and from what the Muslims are commanded of this adl is that they do not transgress against those who do not fight them or expel them for their religion.
For what crime are journalists and aid workers beheaded, their bodies and severed heads paraded for the world to see? The entire world - Muslim and non-Muslim alike - can grasp this. Save the Kharijites, because they are foolish-minded.
They have been described as "Dogs" through revelation! Thus, their intellectual capacities are grossly inferior to thinking people.

O Ahmaq! Many great scholars of Islam consider the Kharijites to be apostates, disbelievers, because they make halaal that which Allaah made haraam. This is in addition to the dhaahir (apparentness) of the ahaadeeth regarding them. Those hadeeths explicitly state their departure from Islam, and that they are "the most evil of the creation" and this can only be if they are disbelievers, in the view of those who hold this. Likewise the Prophetic command to kill them and the fact that they will be with Dajjaal, fighting against the people of Islaam; all of these texts support this view.

O Ahmaq! How can you and your likes venerate Muslim life when the Kharijite dogs you defend blindly consider every Muslim who does not agree with their belief (of takfir of rulers, governments and societies) and does not ally with them to be an apostate whose blood is permissible to shed?! How is that veneration of life! It is on this very basis that Imaam Ibn Baz considers the Kharijite Terrorists to be disbelievers, because of their takfir and killing of Muslims.
So you and your likes are plagued with a disease like rabies which infects dogs. It is a dangerous disease which affects those with diseased minds, souls and hearts, and from its causes are severe ignorance of Islam and its rulings.

It is no surprise then that the Prophet commended the killing of the Kharijites (behind the rulers) and he promised a great reward for the one who killed them. And perhaps the wisdom in this is so that their rabies-like disease is quarantined and eliminated to provide relief for the Muslims at large from their evil which surpasses that of others. And from the greatest of evidences that anyone who defends ISIS is utterly lost in mind, heart and soul is that all the Extremist Kharijite Takfiris from the 1990s whose extremist ideas were food for the ISIS Kharijites; all of them consider ISIS to be Kharijites....(!!!) Abu Qataadah, Abu Baseer Mustafa Haleemah, Sulaymaan Ulwaan, Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi...Every vile Kharijite from the 1990s who observes the barbarity created by their takfiri ideologies is now trying to wash his filthy, dirty hands from the activities of ISIS (!)

O Ahmaq! In that is a lesson (ibrah) for your brain cell. You have no replies to any of this, except mutashaabihaat.
Know that the non-Muslims did not invade Afghanistan except because of the Khawaarij. They did not invade Iraq except because of the Khawaarij. So do not try to excuse the Khawaarij when they are the cause of the very tribulations you protest.
The Kharijite ideology led to the slaughter of more than 100,000 in Algeria. They are at it again in Syria/Iraq. In Libya, they are causing chaos, mercenary, Takfiri, Kharijite groups, fighting each other for power. All of these tribulations are because of the Kharijites whose methodology is takfir and khurooj (revolts, revolutions).

The activities of the Kharijites provide the pretexts for outside interference, this is why the great Imaams of the Sunnah such as Ibn Taymiyyah spoke of the harm of the Kharijites upon Muslims to be greater than that of non-Muslim aggressors.
When the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) says, "I would slaughter them like the slaughtering of Aad" and "the most evil of creation..." don't come back with falsafah (philosophy) and rhetoric, "What about non-Muslim terrorism etc..."

When Abu Saeed al-Khudree (ra) said that killing the Kharijites is before fighting against the (non-Muslim) Turks, don't come back with falsafah (philosophy) and rhetoric. Submit to revelation and abandon your hawaa. When these evil ISIS dogs are saying today, "We will chop the head of al-Fawzaan" and "We will liberate Makkah and Madinah..." Don't bring your falsafah and rhetoric about non-Muslim aggression and terrorism; because your Prophet told you about these evil Kharijites that "They kill the people of Islam and leave the idol-worshippers..."

The evil of the Kharijites would be readily apparent to all Muslims had it not been for their sympathizers who adduce arguments for their defence or who try to deflect the issues, thinking that if you speak about the Kharijites in light of the Shariah you are bound, in the same breath, to speak about non-Muslims and their aggressions against Muslims and their lands; the injustice of which is known to all people of sound mind, and which none are deceived by.
Thus the saying of Ibn Taymiyyah and those before him that the Kharijites are more harmful to Muslims, more so than others; more harmful to the Muslims, and none more harmful than them, not even the Jews and Christians...

[4] If someone were to say never was this division done by the Prophet, Abu Bakr or 'Umar so dividing Tawheed into 3 categories is bid'ah

[5] No one would say this except the one who doesn't love Tawheed and his 'Aqeedah is corrupt and he is fighting against Tawheed

[6] Knowledge of the Deen such as Fiqh were all extrapolated from the text in the same fashion as these 3 categories were of Tawheed

[7] There is no verse form the Qur'aan that explicitly states what are the pillars, obligations or sunnah acts of salaah

[8] This was extrapolated from the texts

[9] The scholars wrote about these branches of 'ilm and as long as they are supported by the texts of the Qur'aan & Sunnah, it is correct

[10] Beloved brothers, we have to thank Allah and praise Him much. We have to know that He has bestowed upon us many blessings

[11] Blessings that we cannot count. The greatest of them is that He guided us to Islaam, Eemaan & the madhhab of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah

[12] and has prevented us from falling into the traps of the Raafidhah, Khawaarij, Mu'tazilah and those who went astray

[13] He guided us to the 'Aqeedah of the Salaf-us-Saalih, and this 'Aqeedah is the truth

[14] Many who ascribe to Salafiyyah do not recognize this great blessing,and if they were to ponder they would see it is indeed the greatest

[15] Many people are in the darkness of shirk, bid'ah & have left the straight path which the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wasalam) advised us to follow

[16] Every other path is nothing other than something which was drawn up by the people of bid'ah and those who call to the Hell fire

[17] Proof that some who ascribe to Salafiyyah do not feel this blessings is that many busy themselves with minute details of 'Aqeedah

[18] and make a big deal out of very small issues; what they want is to cause fighting within the ranks of the Salafis

[19] These are matters which Allah never made us responsible for knowing the fine details of

[20 This is in the time when the sons of Aadam are in dire need for someone to teach them the basics of 'Aqeedah

[21] and teach them the Book of Allah

[22] In the time when many are in need of 'Aqeedah those who ascribe to Salafiyyah are busy looking for the faults of their brothers

[23a] and accusing their own brothers of being misguided. All they want by this is wealth and prestige

[23b] They do not know that if Allah wanted He could make their hearts go astray.

[24] They act as if they think they are in control of their own hearts & their hearts are in between their own fingers

[25] and they can move it as they wish

[26] Do we really feel safe from the plotting of Allah? "None feels secure from the Plan of Allah except the people who are the losers."

[27] Those who take Salafiyyah as a slogan, they do not intend to benefit the people. They only use this slogan to gain prestige,

[28] to take the people's money, as a way of earning an income and in the name of being known as the student of Shaykh so and so

[29] And they do not know that if that Shaykh were to get out of his grave, he would warn against them and free himself from them

[30] According to Shaykh Rabee': These people are stabbing Salafiyyah in the side

[31] It is no secret to any of you the reality of the situation of the Muslims in the world today & the events that are taking place

[32] It is something that makes us all sad and causes us to grieve

[33] These events are something that are about to take place at the end of time; as the Hour gets closer there is bound to be fitan

[34] In this time, a person holding on to his Deen will be as rare as a person holding on to hot coal

[35]The believer is very saddened about humanity in general & the Ummah of Muhammad in specific & regarding these bloodbaths talking place

[36] The reason for these fitan is the lack of people holding on to the manhaj of our Salaf-us-Saalih & them following their own desires

[37] and following their own thoughts which have gone astray and their own minds which are deficient

[38] Those who call themselves du'aat are following their own desires, and they know that the truth lies in the Qur'aan & Sunnah

[39] However, they have other agendas and desires; they have their political parties and they want control in order to rule the world

[40] Their own dream, corrupt aspirations and their own shayaateen dictate that they must rule the world by any means

[41] By being in agreement with Islaam or not. Even if they have to be treacherous, hypocrites

[42] or enter into conspiracies with the enemies of Islaam. And in this they claim the permissibility of shedding the blood of the Muslims

[43] They enter into pacts and become friendly with the Raafidhah & the enemies of Islaam all in the name of politics

[44] And they have forgotten that all of the Affairs are in the Hands of Allah and He is watching over us

[45] The group I am referring to is al-Ikhwaan al-Muslimeen, which was established by Hasan al-Banna

[46] They have caused more harm to the Muslims than anyone else. They have caused tremendous harm to the followers of Muhammad

[47] All the bloodshed in Afghanistan, Iraq & the corruption caused by the Arab Spring, I attribute all of that to al-Ikhwaan al-Muslimeen.

[48]...beloved brothers after talking about Ikhwan Muslimeen you should know that there are many similar to them who call themselves Salafis

[49] and they have been tricked by them and all the wealth they have to offer, they argue with falsehood in order to extinguish the truth

[50] They abused their own intellects to fight against the people of the true 'Aqeedah, those who care little for the dunya

[51] who have spent their entire lives calling to Islaam and calling to Tawheed

[52] Those who call themselves Salafis see that al-Ikhwaan al-Muslimeen have we

[53] Ihyaa at-Turaath in Kuwait didn’t leave any Salafi school in India, Pakistan & Bangladesh except that they fought one another and jumped on board, dividing the Salafis

[54] and called each other innovators. They accuse Shaykh al-Albaanee and Shaykh Rabee' of Irjaa'

[55] All the books they write, they fight about issues of Irjaa - such as the Haddaadiyyah and Hajaawirah

56] They have done nothing but back-stabbed the Sunnah &Islaam. They think these tricks will be accepted with Allah

[57] and they do not know that only obedience to Allah and His Messenger is what is accepted

[58] Such as 'Ibaadah, Tawheed, teaching the people the truth and calling to Islaam and having sincerity

[59] Allah does not care about people's appearance, He cares about what is in people's hearts

[60]The Messenger of Allah said: “Verily, Allah does not look at your appearance or wealth, but rather He looks at your hearts and actions.”

[61] I advise you to have taqwaa of Allah, be dutiful to Him and be fearful of Him

[62] In these times there are still those who worship trees & lakes and make pilgrimage to these places.

[63] At a time when people have not even heard about Islaam, we are busy fighting and accusing each other of Irjaa'

64] Were it not that Allah maintains the hearts of the believes, our hearts would crumble and die

[65] but out of His Mercy, He shows Mercy to us and pours it down upon us & Allah does not cause the actions of the Muhsineen to go to waste

[66] We are addressing the importance of 'Aqeedah. It is important to respect the Salaf and their 'Aqeedah

[67] The 6 major books of Hadeeth all have chapters talking about the importance of Creed & Eemaan

[68] This topic (of 'Aqeedah) is in essence Islaam

[69] I advise you with calling others to Islaam and I remind you of the saying of the Prophet (sallAllahu 'alayhi wa sallam):

[70] "Convey from me even if it is one aayah"

[71] The nation of Muhammad is now experiencing a blood bath; we are in a waterfall of blood. We ask Allah to relieve all of the hardships

[72] And we ask Him not to let ourselves be a cause of others not wanting to enter into this Deen]]>Audios and TranscriptionsMon, 22 Sep 2014 18:04:39 -0400ISIS and The False Caliph- Shaykh al-Hudayfee - by: UmmAbdurRahmaan40https://www.troid.org/forum/audios-and-transcriptions/2189-isis-and-the-false-caliph-shaykh-al-hudayfee#2461

Tele-Lecture - Exposing ISIS & The False Caliph by Shaykh 'Ali al-Hudhayfee

25th Dhul Qadah 1435 (20th September 2014.) collated tweets@mpubs.

[1] Before we enter into the topic, we would like to say that they are a group of youth who have come together

[2] from different parts of the world, Muslim & non-Muslim countries and they have gathered in a place between Iraaq & Syria

[3] and they have claimed to establish an Islaamic government

[4] They created this so-called government because they do not recognize any other government on the face of the earth as being Islaamic

[5] They do not recognize any of the Muslim countries as being Islaamic

[6] They consider every Muslim country to be a disbelieving country that has committed apostasy & likewise all the government offices and armies

[7] This co-called government is based upon making takfeer of the Muslims and is no different from the Khawaarij of the past.

[8] They have no value whatsoever when it comes to the Islaamic legislation because the manner in which their leadership came about

[9] is not legislated in Islaam. The way it should come about is through the process of pledging allegiance by the people who are in charge of the society.

[10] The leaders are the ones to make the pledge of allegiance on behalf of the rest of the citizens.

[11] The Khaleefah does not become as such until this has happened - until the leaders of the society pledge allegiance to him

[12] The forefront of them being the 'Ulamaa` and those who have positions of leadership

[13] Any other way of assuming leadership is not valid in Islaam.

[14] The way this so-called Khilaafah came about - he gathered a group of youth & thought this was sufficient for him to become the Khaleefah.

[15] This bay'ah gives him no authority because they are not the people in position of leadership in the society.

[16] This so-called Khilaafah is corrupt and is invalid. The scholars all agree that this so-called Khilaafah is blameworthy

[17] and is a criminal group that has no portion when it comes to being gentle and just with the people.

[18] The acts of violence they carry out do nothing but turn people away from Islaam.

[19] They slaughter those who differ with their political agenda - Muslim & non-Muslim.

[20] They do heinous things to the corpses of the victims and put it on YouTube in order to turn people away from the Deen of Islaam.

[21] They capture the women and sell them as if they were slaves and kill children and men who are non-combatants.

[22] They go into the streets and aimlessly kill innocent civilians for no reason. Islaam is free from this.

[23] When the Prophet sent out a group for Jihaad he would tell the leader to fear Allah & not kill a woman, old person, child or monk.

[24] Islaam is beautiful both in its means & end. Its end is to invite people to enter into Islaam & the means is to carry it out with gentleness.

[25] Of all the things the Prophet was accused of by the pagans, he was never accused of violence, selling women, killing innocent people

[26] killing the elderly or attacking without first warning the enemies.

[27] He only performed Jihaad as Allah legislated and this is the reason why people entered into Islaam.

[28] Only two types of people join ISIS: 1) a spy and 2) the one who is sincere in wanting to spread Islaam but he is hard hearted.

[29] When it comes to the actions they perform, they steal people's money and say their money is halaal because they are not Muslims.

[30] Regarding the women they capture, they perform adultery with them because they claim that they are what their right hand possess.

[31] They have gathered the two most dangerous things: desires and doubts.

[32] Desires: stealing money and committing adultery Doubts: making takfeer of the Muslims especially the scholars of Islaam.

[33] It is proven that some of those who are in charge are spies who have been sent by the Zionists and CIA.

[34] When we look at the history of this man (Abu Bakr al-Baghdaadi), he went to America and later returned to Syria and was with those

[35] who were fighting against the government. Likewise, if you look on Google you will see clips of him with his beard shaven & wearing pants

[36] and this is free for everyone to see. You will also see inappropriate images of him with women.

[37] He has a dark, shady history and is not fit to be the leader of the Muslims.

[38] It is not permissible for any Muslim living in his country to follow him and likewise those who leave their country to follow him.

[39]When some of the youth heard about this new 'Khilaafah", they got emotional & were too hasty. As soon as they got his word they ran to him.

[40] This is a fault of their part because this man is not equipped to be a leader for the Muslims and is certainly not a scholar of Islaam.

[41] The youth should tie themselves to the books & tapes of the scholars such as Sh. Ibn Baaz, Sh. Ibn 'Uthaymeen, Sh. al-Fawzaan, Sh.Muqbil

[43] And do not be fooled by anyone who stands up and claims to be a new leader of the Ummah.]]>Audios and TranscriptionsSat, 20 Sep 2014 16:57:50 -0400How Do We Look To Gaza? Sh.

https://www.troid.org/forum/audios-and-transcriptions/2169-shaytaan-is-an-enemy-to-you-sh-al-anjaree#2442Shaytaan Is An Enemy To You, So Take Him As Your Enemy'

The Shaykh, Muhammad al Anjaree (hafidhahullaah), he began by praising Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta’aala) and sending peace and blessings upon the Messenger (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), and he said:

The Insaan, the person, man or a woman, in this life was created with a certain purpose, and that this person, he was not left purposeless, and at the same time we find that the Insaan forgets this reality every day. And this reality is that a Muslim, he has ‘eemaan in the reality of this life, and this is something that the Shaykh wanted to highlight to say that this is what we have been getting the explanation from our Shaykh, Shaykh Ahmed As-Subay’ee in his explanation of the book ‘Kitaab-at-Tawheed’. In the explanation of what is the purpose of creation, and what are the foundations that the creation is created with. The Shaykh he mentioned, we have the statement of Allah (subhaanahu wa ta’aala),

‘And I did not create Mankind and Jinn except to worship Me alone.'[Adh-Dhariyat]

[/i][/b]

With the purpose, that a person he actually actualises his worship of Allah, and this is what Allah decreed for this Insaan, for this person, and likewise Allah decreed for this Insaan that he has enemies, and from his enemies is Iblees; may Allah protect us from these evils and protect us from the Shaytaan who is rejected. And the Shaytaan is no doubt an enemy as Allah (subhaanahu wa ta’aala) mentions in Qur’aan

‘Indeed Shaytaan is an enemy to you, so take him (the Shaytaan) as your enemy.'

[Fatir: 6]

[/i][/b]

This Insaan, he was created with the purpose of worship of Allah (subhaanahu wa ta’aala) and at the same time he will have enemies like the Shaytaan. And this Insaan, he has many obstacles in his worship, you find himself in a test and he has obstacles; and from these tests he finds himself in between Truth and Falsehood, and needs to make the correct choice. And this Iblees tries to misguide this Insaan by taking him far away from the correct reality that indeed he is an enemy for him, he takes him far away from this reality, and he makes him forget that he is his enemy, and who is his real enemy; so this doubt and this forgetfulness, it takes the Insaan far away from the correct affair that the Iblees is his enemy, this forgetfulness indeed takes a person to a state where he is in the displeasure of Allah (subhaanahu wa ta’aala).

What you find today with the Jamaa’at and these Islaamic political innovated groups and parties is that they try and show you that in reality who are your true enemies is for example the Freemasons or some countries, these are your true enemies, and they leave the correct reality, as Allah has mentioned in the Qur’aan, the Shaytaan is he who takes you as enemies.

But these Jamaa’at al Bid’eeyah, as the Shaykh mentioned, these Islaamic political innovated groups and parties, they try and show you that Freemasons are your enemy, or that Communism is your enemy, and the Shaykh said, this is indeed a Shaytaani trick; this is only a trick from theShaytaan, and the Shaykh said, we only hear from a few, very few people that the true reason for you being deviated from the correct path is Iblees, the Shaytaan. You hear from a lot claiming that Communism is that which takes you far away from the Truth, or that Freemasons are the ones that take you far away from the Truth; but you find that they leave the real truth and the real reality of the fact that the true enemy between the Insaan is the enemy of the Shaytaan between the Insaan, the true enemy is Iblees and the Insaan.

Who is the one who led the Jews and the Christians astray? It is the Shaytaan! Who is the one that led the people to follow these ways like Communism and Socialism? It is the Shaytaan! Who is the one that led you to associate partners with Allah, making shirk? It is the Shaytaan! So in reality, you’re true enemy is who? It is the Shaytaan.

You will find that Allah (subhaanahu wa ta’aala) asked ‘Eesa (‘alayhis salaam) the Prophet of Allah,

“Did you say to the people ‘take me and my mother as something to be worshipped.’ He will say ‘No’"[Ma'idah: 116]

[/i][/b]
So who is the one that led the Christians to believe that they should take ‘Eesa and his mother as something to be worshipped? It is the Shaytaan.

Today we hear, for example, the head of the Vatican, or who is known as the Pope, in present day, and we hear from them where they blame…and there is no difference between all of these religions; there is no difference with a person who is Communist or a Socialist or a Christian, or even a person who doesn’t believe in anything; there is no difference between all of them, for who is the one that led the people to believe, for them to claim that this way, this is not something that I’m bringing from myself, this is something we’ve heard a couple of weeks ago, or three weeks ago, to the extent that he said that there is no punishment, not only that, that there is no Hellfire.

It is not an obligation upon the Sunni, as a Muslim that he follows the way of the Jamaa’at, or the methodology of these Islaamic political innovated groups and parties in their enmity to these ideologies. It is not for the Muslim, or the Insaan to take enemies who are not true, who these people claim are the enemies, rather the real enemy is the Shaytaan. And the Muslims, they do not leave this circle; at the same time we do believe that the Muslims, they will not be pleased to follow the ways of the Jews and the Christians, yes that is known; but the Shaytaan , he wants to do to Islaam what he did to the religion of the Jews and Christians, and that is the goal of Iblees, his goal is to change the religion of Islaam, like he changed the religion of the Jews and the Christians, and the Shaykh mentioned the ayah in the Qur’aan where Iblees says to Allah (subhaanahu wa ta’aala) that he will misguide the Muslims, except from those of your worshippers who are Mukhliseen, who are sincere, and indeed they are few.

And the Shaykh said, who are these few? They are Ahlussunnah, they are the Saved Sect, and they are the People of Tawheed, and they are the ones who clarify, and they are not upon those ways, and they are not upon the way of Iblees; they are the ones who actualise the Tawheed.

There is a problem in this affair, and the problem we have and the difficulty we have in this affair is that it is an affair which is Unseen. When your enmity of Iblees is based upon a matter which is unseen, and here you find Allah (subhaanahu wa ta’aala) mention in the Qur’aan,

'Alif-Lâm-Mîm. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'ân and none but Allâh (Alone) knows their meanings] This is the Book (the Qur'ân), whereof there is no doubt, a guidance to those who are Al-Muttaqûn [the pious and righteous persons who fear Allâh much (abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which He has forbidden) and love Allâh much (perform all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained)].

[Baqarah: 1-2]

[/i][/b]'

As the Shaykh mentioned that Allah mentioned that this Qur’aan which has nothing by way of deficiency in it, and it is a source of Guidance for the People of Taqwa. And who are the first and foremost from the People of Taqwa?

The first and foremost from the People of Taqwa are those who are firm in the matters of the Unseen, before those who pray, before those who establish the Salawaat, they are the ones who believe in the affairs of the matters of the Unseen; they know that this Shaytaan is an affair of the matters of the Unseen, but they believe in it and their enmity to the Shaytaan is a matter of the Unseen. And you find that this affair is not an affair which is a material affair, and as the Shaykh explained in English, this is the challenge, this is the challenge for the Sunni, to believe in an enmity of the Shaytaan, actualisiing this by way of your worship, this is something which is not a material affair; in opposition with the statements of the Jama’aat, with the statements of the Islaamic political innovated groups and parties, where they want you to believe in something were your enemy is a material enemy, it is difficult for them to fathom this. So a person, they want you to connect them, this Insaan, to show them that their enemy is a material affair, but the Insaan, as the Shaykh mentioned, by way of his ‘Aqeedah, believes that his enemy is something which is Unseen, and this is an affair which is heavy upon him, and it is a test for him.

The Jamaa’at, they don’t want this, what they want, what they need is enemies which they can show, this material enemy, and they say, for example, you have the people who make shirk, they are your enemy, and the Shaykh said that no doubt, this is something which is true, because as the Shaykh mentioned, the ayah, that the most difficult from those are those Jews and those who make shirk with Allah, no doubt they are from the most difficult of enemies, but the Salafi, because of his real ‘eemaan in the affairs of the Unseen, he recognises that his true enemy isIblees, the Shaytaan. And no doubt the others, you find that they have a weakness in this, and their weakness is that they only recognise the enemy by way of material effects, and here the Shaykh said, this is the Furqaan, this is that which distinguishes clearly between the manhaj, or the methodology of the Sunni, and the methodology of all of those people of bid’ah who are in opposition.

So the enemy is something which is Unseen, and this is where the Sunni, he actualises in reality, in truth, that the person is always an enemy with Iblees, always in enmity with the Shaytaan, and it’s not possible for this person, except that the person whose body is constantly in worship to Allah subhaanahu wa ta’aala, this is the way he brings ‘ibaadah, that he has embraced it, he has embraced worship to Allah, and he is upon a way and upon the belief like the belief of the noble Companions, Abu Bakr and ‘Umar radhiallaahu ta’aala anhum.

And it’s possible that a person, he is upon this way that he gets closer to Allah subhaanahu wa ta’aala with his enmity to Iblees. But Iblees, the Shaytaan, he wants to change and distort this religion and a person is constantly at war with the Shaytaan, because Shaytaan wants to change the religion. The Shaykh gave a few simple examples; he said, the Shaytaan, when the Sunni, he makes dhikr of Allah, the Shaytaan wants you to make dhikr the way he makes it, he doesn’t want you to make dhikr of Allah upon the way of the Companions or that which Muhammad (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) was upon, rather he wants you to make dhikr of Allah they way he did; or for example, the Shaykh said, who was the one who entered the statement that ‘the truth has been spoken by Allah’ after the recitation of the Qur’aan which is well known today as ‘Sadaqallaahul ‘adheem’, who was the one who entered this? We find that this wasn’t the way of the guidance of Muhammad (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) or his Companions, but the Shaytaan, Iblees, he entered this, and today, the Shaykh said, we find the people saying this, they say ‘sadaqallaahul ‘adheem’.

And the Shaykh said, few from the people are thankful, very few from the people are thankful, and very few from the people are mukhliseen, very few from the people are sincere, who stop the people and remind them, ‘no your true enemy is the Shaytaan’, and this is the Shaytaan entering this. So upon you is to be upon the way of the Companions and Muhammad (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam). And the Sunni is not pleased to enter anything into this affair because he knows that this is the way of the Shaytaan.

And the Shaykh said, I would like to end this speech, and you find that the Sunni he revives theSunnah and he kills off all bid’ah in every time and in every place, and the Shaykh said, reviving the Sunnah, the head of it is at-Tawheed, is actualising the statement ‘There is none with the right to be worshipped except Allah subhaanahu wa ta’aala’. And the head of bid’ah, is that a person, he leads to shirk, wa iyaadhubillaah, that he leads to associating partners with Allah. So how does a person call to Allah? My message, to my dear brothers is to revive the Sunnah and kill off all of the bid’ah, revive the Sunnah with myself with my family, with my close relatives, in the country that I live in, and in every place I may be, and this is reviving and calling to at-Tawheed, of actualising Tawheed and killing off all of bid’ah and the head of all of bid’ah, is ash-Shirk; and there is no doubt, the Shaykh said, inshaAllaah, that if a person is upon this way, that he has taken the Shaytaan as his enemy; there is no doubt inshaAllaah, that if a person is upon this way, reviving the Sunnah at the head of which is Tawheed and killing off all of bid’ah, with the head of which is shirk, then I have no doubt inshaAllaah that the person is upon enmity with the Shaytaan, as Allah subhaanahu wa ta’aala has ordered us to do, as Allah mentioned in the Qur’aan, and the Shaykh reminded us of this statement,

‘Indeed the Shaytaan is an enemy.’

And for you is to take the Shaytaan as your enemy. So as the Shaykh mentioned in English, This is your Flag, if you want to raise the banner of Islaam, then this is your Flag; if you want to revive the Sunnah in every time and in every place and kill off all of bid’ah.]]>Audios and TranscriptionsTue, 19 Aug 2014 07:42:57 -0400Help Mass Produce 'Harry Potter' CD - by: troid.org adminhttps://www.troid.org/forum/audios-and-transcriptions/23-help-mass-produce-harry-potter-cd?start=10#2437

Did anyone end up transcribing the lecture? If not, in Sha Allah I will do so,

And upon that note, in sha' Allah, there's a question here, really that Abu Iyaad حفظه الله تعالى is more suitable for answering regarding publishing online and people using blogs and social media and so on and I think I've touched upon that anyway to be honest with you.

That any individual that sets up a twitter account and starts writing or (a) Facebook account and starts writing, he should fear Allah and not put himself into Fitna (trials/tribulations). Whether it be a brother or a sister. Yes if you have a twitter account follow the Salafi Duaat (callers) and follow the Salafi ṭulaab (students) and follow the Salafi scholars because you will get benefit, in sha' Allah.

So follow their accounts on Twitter, okay all of those are arabic but nevertheless, if its English then no harm. Even Miraath, they have an account, they translate the fatawa of Shaykh Ubayd and they send them out on their twitter account and some of the other brothers who have accounts, our brother Abu Idrees for example, Troid have an account, Maktabah as Salafiyyah have an account.

So follow those and benefit from them, don't think now that they're talking, I need to talk, don't talk. Just because you know you've got a mouth. It doesn't necessitate just because you've got a mouth: "I've got to speak". You don't have to speak, you can listen, that's why you have two ears and one tongue.

So you listen more than you speak, Baarak Allah feekum and generally keep away from things like Facebook and Youtube and these types of things that are fishing around, keep away from them because either they will lead you to misguidance or they'll lead you to sin because that's primarily what happens with things like Facebook and Youtube.

Either you'll go to misguidance or you'll go towards sin because you see the Fasaad on Facebook, how much Fasaad, music, nakedness, you know all this type of promiscuity and so on taking place on YouTube and even on Facebook. So keep yourselves and your families away from it. Your not in need of that, go to Troid, the website and download the audio.

Our brother, Moosa Richardson حفظه الله تعالى he gave you lectures and he still does lectures by phone. Our brother Abu Iyaad does tele lectures with you, stick to that which you know. (Shaykh) Ubayd al Jabiree's lectures, Shaykh Rabee's lectures, Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Hadi's lectures, many of them have been translated, go to them.

Baarak Allah feekum wa jazak Allah khayran and in sha' Allah we will concluded upon that.

And upon that note, in sha' Allah, there's a question here, really that Abu Iyaad حفظه الله تعالى is more suitable for answering regarding publishing online and people using blogs and social media and so on and I think I've touched upon that anyway to be honest with you.

That any individual that sets up a twitter account and starts writing or (a) Facebook account and starts writing, he should fear Allah and not put himself into Fitna (trials/tribulations). Whether it be a brother or a sister. Yes if you have a twitter account follow the Salafi Duaat (callers) and follow the Salafi ṭulaab (students) and follow the Salafi scholars because you will get benefit, in sha' Allah.

So follow their accounts on Twitter, okay all of those are arabic but nevertheless, if its English then no harm. Even Miraath, they have an account, they translate the fatawa of Shaykh Ubayd and they send them out on their twitter account and some of the other brothers who have accounts, our brother Abu Idrees for example, Troid have an account, Maktabah as Salafiyyah have an account.

So follow those and benefit from them, don't think now that they're talking, I need to talk, don't talk. Just because you know you've got a mouth. It doesn't necessitate just because you've got a mouth: "I've got to speak". You don't have to speak, you can listen, that's why you have two ears and one tongue.

So you listen more than you speak, Baarak Allah feekum and generally keep away from things like Facebook and Youtube and these types of things that are fishing around, keep away from them because either they will lead you to misguidance or they'll lead you to sin because that's primarily what happens with things like Facebook and Youtube.

Either you'll go to misguidance or you'll go towards sin because you see the Fasaad on Facebook, how much Fasaad, music, nakedness, you know all this type of promiscuity and so on taking place on YouTube and even on Facebook. So keep yourselves and your families away from it. Your not in need of that, go to Troid, the website and download the audio.

Our brother, Moosa Richardson حفظه الله تعالى he gave you lectures and he still does lectures by phone. Our brother Abu Iyaad does tele lectures with you, stick to that which you know. (Shaykh) Ubayd al Jabiree's lectures, Shaykh Rabee's lectures, Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Hadi's lectures, many of them have been translated, go to them.

Baarak Allah feekum wa jazak Allah khayran and in sha' Allah we will concluded upon that.

Summarised by sister Umm Khadījah Faatimah
Linguistically the word 'Jinn' in Arabic originally means concealment. They are made hidden from our sight. Insanity covers intellect which is why it is called insanity. The person who is a Majnoon, is called such because his intellect is covered.

The Arabic words like Jinn, fetus (Janin) armor (Mijan), and insanity (Junoon) share a common linguistic origin. This is concealment as they all cover something underneath.

Allah, subhaana wa talaa, said regarding the Jinn and the devils:

Indeed, he sees you, him and his tribe, from where you cannot see them (7;27)

Very lastly, ya ikhwaan, we would like to address a shubha, a doubt, promoted by some individuals, either because of them being ignorant; and if they are ignorant then they can be taught, inshaAllaah; or either because they are from the People of Desires, and if this is their case then, ya’ani, what can be done with them?

It is those who say ‘You all have double standards. If a detailed criticism takes place, then why don’t you take the criticism of Shaykh Wasee’ullaah ‘Abbaas (hafidhahullah) regarding Maktabatu-Salafiyyah, and Abu Khadeejah Abdul Waahid.’ This is the Shubha that they say, and I’ve heard it more than once. One time I heard it in Newark, one time I heard it in Camden, and maybe I heard it another time besides that. But this is the Shubha that you find individuals, they say.

So in response to this doubt I say, first and foremost, as Shaykh ‘Abdullaah al Bukhaaree he mentions in his lessons of ‘Dawaabat ul jarh wa ta’deel’

He says, Shaykh ‘Abdullaah al Bukhaaree (hafidhahullaah),

‘That the principle that the Jarh takes precedence over the praise and the principle that the criticism is not accepted except if it is detailed, then this affair is not unrestricted; rather, the one whose ‘adaala, whose trustworthiness and truthfulness has been established, (meaning upon the people of knowledge), a general criticism regarding them will not take precedence over a praise. As for the one whose trustworthiness and truthfulness has not been established and he has been criticised by a Scholar, that criticism takes precedence absolutely, even if it was a general criticism, (meaning not detailed) and this is if it comes from one who has knowledge of the reasons of Jarh (criticism)’

Meaning what? We will explain this. It means that one cannot come and make general statement of criticism against one whose ‘adaala, ya’ani, their trustworthiness and truthfulness has been established, amongst the scholars and is praised by them. Rather, any criticism against this type of person must be what? In detail. Also, the one whose ‘adaala is not established and not verified with the People of Knowledge, and the criticism comes regarding them, from one knowledgeable from the affairs of Jarh, then it is accepted, even if it is general.

This principle is important. Why is this? Because if anyone can make a general statement of criticism against one whose ‘adaala has already been verified and established, then this leaves the door wide open for anyone to be spoken against and criticised; and this is what occurred with who? Faaleh al Harabee, who Shaykh Rabee’ (hafidhahullaah) he criticised. As he would criticise those, who their ‘adaala was established amongst the People of Knowledge, but he failed to explain the reason of criticism. He would say, ‘fulaan hizbee, fulaan mubtadee” , the one who is known forSunnah for trustworthiness and truthfulness.

The ‘Ulema, they did not accept that from him. Rather they described this with al ghuloo’, with extremism.

So our brothers at Maktabus-Salafiyyah, in Birmingham, they are praised amongst the Scholars, from them Shaykh Rabee’, and Shaykh ‘Ubaid, and Shaykh Muhhammad ibn Haadee al Madkhalee.

So the general statement of Shaykh Wasee’ullaah ‘Abbaas (hafidhahullah), for example like knowledge isn’t taken from them, or they are ignorant, it isn’t accepted from him. This statement isn’t accepted from him, because this is a general claim, whilst they have‘adaala amongst the Scholars. That is from one aspect.

Imaam Bukhaari (rahimahullaah), he mentions in his book 'Juzz al Qiraa’ah'h, he said,

‘Many people have not escaped someone speaking ill of them, and people speaking about others regarding their honour and their person, the Scholars did not turn to any of this speech, except if it is coupled with proofs and evidences, and their ‘adaala was not tarnished except when there were proofs and evidences.’

So any general speech like this, from Shaykh Wasee’ullaah (hafidhahullaah), is not accepted.
So a person may come and say, ‘Well Shaykh Wasee’ullaah, he clarified in detail the reason why they are criticised.’ He said ‘They speak about Jamee’at Ahlil Hadeeth,' which is a Jam’ee'ah that began in Hind, in India. An organisation, and they have centres in England and other places around the world, from that Green Lane Mosque which is there in Birmingham.

So one may say, ya’ani ‘The Shaykh, he clarified, or he detailed this criticism.’ We also say in response to thisShubha; the Scholars mention, ya ikhwaan, the conditions of when the criticism takes place over the praise. It has three conditions;

Number one: That the criticism must be detailed, and this was previously explained,

Number two: That the criticism must be that which a person is criticised for.

Because Shaykh ‘Abdullaah al Bukhaaree, he said'When you ponder over some criticisms, in reality it is not a criticism.’ And Khateeb al Baghdaadee brings a whole chapter in his book 'Al Kifaaya' about those who are criticised with things that does not necessitate a person being criticised. And the third condition that they say;

That another scholar that specialises in Jarh, he is a naaqid, that he does not refute that detailed criticism with another detailed proof.

So after bringing these conditions, yaa ikhwaan, in which the detailed Jarh, criticism takes precedence over the praise, we say that the statement of Shaykh Wasee’ullaah, that the brothers at Salafi Publications speak ill of Green Lane Mosque and Ahlul Hadeeth, thatjamee’ah from Hind, and that they have centres in England, then this is not a Jarh which is jaarih this is not a criticism which they can be criticised for. Why is this? Because they have Salaf in this. They have Salaf who preceded them in this, because Shaykh ‘Ubayd, he criticised this Jamee’ah, and even Shaykh Muqbil (rahimahullaah) he criticised this Jamee’ah, this organisation. So if this clear yaa ikhwaan, it will be clear to the Seeker of Truth, that the Salafi’s do not have double standards, as it relates to the detailed Jarh.

That which Shaykh Rabee’ criticised Taahir, and Shadeed, and before them Abu Muslimah for, and their likes, are because of matters that go against the Salafi ‘Aqeedah and Manhaj, and let alone Shaykh Rabee’ being firmly grounded in this science, and we’ve heard something from that from the People of Knowledge. On the contrary, that which Shaykh Wasee’ullaah said about our brothers at Maktabas-Salafiyyah, and Abu Khadeejah, then this is not a Jarh that removes his ‘adaala, and their ‘adaala which is established amongst the Scholars of our time.

I ask Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta’aala) to make us from those who cling on to the Methodology of the Salaf, in statement and action and belief, and to give us ikhlaas in the religion of Islaam, and to protect us from fitan, that which is apparent from it and that which is hidden, and I ask Allaah to make us from the ghurabaa’, the strangers who have come with the praiseworthy description of the statement Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam),

‘Islaam started as something strange, and it will return strange as it began, so tooba for the ghurabaa’

'The Evils of Ikhwaanul Muslimun Upon Islam'
A lesson delivered Shaykh Muhammad al- Anjari this evening via Annahj Radio and translated by Nabil Chogle via Twitter. I merely collected the tweets and edited any minor spelling errors for easier reading.
This heavenly affair for every person who raises the Banner of the Truth, is to command the good and forbid evil; from commanding the good is to call to the Sunnah, and from warning from evil and to warn from distortion in the religion.
Ahlus-Sunnah call to this, raising the banner of the Sunnah and killing off all of bid’ah; and from those who have distorted the religion of Islam, and from those who have brought evils to the religion are the Jamaa’at Ul Ikhwaan.
What did Ibn ‘Abbaas say to those who didn't purify themselves from the water of the ocean?
Those who don't purify from the ocean water? ‘May Allaah not purify them!’ So it is the likes of Ikhwaan Ul Muslimeen, who do not follow the Sunnah of Muhammad (sallallahu ‘alayhi wassallam).

So a brief history of this evil Group known as Ikhwaan ul Muslimeen; its founder is Hasan Al Banna,
and they form communities, and they establish salaries for their members and unite upon a common goal which is the false claim to return to the Khilafa Rashida (Islamic caliphate). It is a false claim to say that our conflict and difference with Ikhwaan are in certain branches of the religion; rather our difference are in the Aqeedah with the this evil group (Islamic Brotherhood).

They started with this claim that they, (Ikhwanul Muslimeen) are the true Islam; they are nothing but other than that, with hidden goals and agendas! Ikhwanul Muslimeen say in every Muslim country which has a Muslim ruler that we call to 'Return to the Islamic Caliphate'; so you find the youth were affected and excited by this. So Ikhwanul Muslimeen started to say ‘We don't need blind following cultural Muslims! Rather we need excited and active Muslims!’

So they didn't want Muslims to just pray in the Masjid and read the Qur’aan; the Ikhwanul Muslimeen needed the Muslims to partake in demonstrations and other activities, not taqleedee Muslims! The Ikhwan use the hadeeth of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) to show that they need to have hidden agendas, (and that hadith is) the Prophet (sallallahu alayhu wa sallam) said: ‘Seek assistance and take from what Allaah has blessed you with(wealth) and conceal it from the people; be careful from the envy/jealousy of the people.’ The Ikhwan use this hadeeth, which is a hadeeth explaining an affair of the dunya, to hide their agendas in the da’wah’

So you find that countries like Syria accepted this way of the Ikhwan! Look at the heads of the Ikhwanul Muslimeen, like Abdur Rahman Abdul Khaliq; when he first came to Kuwait he said: ‘Kuwait had no connection with Islam and Islam had to connection with Kuwait!’
The likes of these Takfeerees, Abdur rahman, Muhammad Suroor, Zein Al ‘aabideen, and other than them; (they have the) same agenda.
Even Abul Alaa' Al Mawdoodee in the lands of India speaking in the Urdu language, calling to this evil call! So seeing that we see that our opposition with this evil Jamaa’a, Ikhwanul Muslimeen is in the aqeedah, what does a Sunni do?
The Sunni returns to the likes of our scholars; like Shaykh Rabee’, Shaykh Fawzaan, Shaykh ‘Ubayd; and (take) your religion from the likes of these Noble Scholars.
Don't take your religion from other than those Scholars who clarify the truth from falsehood:
or else you will find yourself upon an Ikhwaanee way and you won’t know it!

If you find yourself being pleased with the different Ikhwaani groups on the radio and the TV, and you have no hatred in listening to them, then you are one who has been poisoned by the Ikhwan. For example. if Muhammad Al Areefee is playing, or Nabeel Al Awadhi is playing and you don't mind then you have been poisoned.
If you find Ibn ‘Uthaymeen playing, and you don't like it, and would rather listen to Areefee or Awadhi then you are poisoned.
To some extent you find some of them, they won't listen even to the Qur’aan; the Speech of Allaah!
They would rather listen to Areefee and Nabil.
Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen said ‘It is not permissible to go and listen to the Khutaba (lecturers) who call to bid’ah and have bid’ah.’ The Religion is not such that you take what you want and leave what you want; you are not at liberty in this affair in this way.
Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen said ‘If you want to learn knowledge of Arabic poetry and sentence structure, then it is not permissible to study with a person of Bid’ah, because he will inject poison in the honey and it will become a difficulty for the student.
Shaykh ibn ‘Uthaymeen was asked: ‘How about just Arabic grammar?
Shaykh ibn uthaymeen said: ‘Not even in grammar.’

Do you see the guidance of the Scholars of the Sunnah? This is their guidance. So now did Ikhwaan still continue in their earlier call to the Caliphate or have they changed? Look at Tariq Suwaidan and Qardawee: ‘Freedom takes all precedence!’ Gannooshee (a Tunisian Ikhwani):
‘We haven't come to power to establish Sharia! Rather we have come to establish democracy!’

Look at the state of Syria and Hamas! Is the blood of the Muslims something cheap with these Ikhwanees?!
We don't fear Hamas nor Ikhwan; we aren't afraid to warn against Hamas and their deviated ways and spilling of blood of the noble Muslims in Palestine! Do you know that Hamas has been ruling in Palestine for 7 years and Alcohol is still being sold in Gaza? So you find the one who is poisoned by Ikhwan saying ‘It doesn't matter if Hamas allow the sale of alcohol or not! ‘ We don't need politics nor do we need sadaqat from the people; we don't need to ask anything from the people. We call the Sunni to work hard and be upon a strong ‘aqeedah. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said ‘The upper hand is better than the lower hand.’ The Sunni is a person of the upper hand.

That was the conclusion of the lesson, may Allah reward Shaykh Muhammad al Anjaree for this beautiful lesson.
Baarakallaahu Feekum

Transcribed from video and slightly edited by Umm Safurā As Salafiyyah b. As-Sa’adiyyah إقرا بنت العجاز
These days we see that the Salafi Da'wah is going backwards.
May Allāh bless you.
Because it has lost the Hikmāh (Wisdom) of its people.

First and foremost it has lost the Wisdom of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ:
And his patience, his mercy his manners his softness and his kindness.

By Allāh, 'Aisha رضي الله عنها had insulted a Jew. So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ:'O 'Âishāh, Allaah loves softness in everything.' [1]

This same Hadeeth, if a Scholar were to mention it to the youth. In order to direct them into following the correct Manhaj, while doing Da'wah.

They would say this is Tamyee'. (One who does not openly stand up for the Truth, and he is not really with the Salafis).

Likewise, if you mentioned:
Wisdom, softness, tolerance, patience and kindness. Things that are from the necessities of the Da'wah. And from the tools that we use to bring the people into the correct Da'wah. So that they may enter to the Deen of Allāh in Masses.
Now, they use deterrence which chases the people away. While the Messenger of Allāh said:
"From amongst you there are those who chase the people away. Make things easy, and do not make things difficult. And give good tidings, and do not chase the people away!" [2]

O brothers, these people are unaware, for by Allāh if they were aware it would be obligatory upon them to call the Messenger ﷺ himself a Mumayy' - (someone practicing Tameey'). And the Sahābah and the Scholars of this Ummah, based upon this destructive harshness that destroyed the Salafi Da'wah.

They would have to call the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ a Mumayy'!
I seek Allāhs forgiveness! He who called to softness, wisdom and kindness. By Allāh, they did not mean this, and it is not their intention, but they are unaware, so it is upon them to understand what is built upon these rulings.
By Allāh, we make an effort, debate, write, give advice and call the people to Allaah and they consider us Mumayy'.

Why?

Because they hear us say; '"Wisdom, Softness, Kindness.'
When we saw that harshness destroyed the Salafi Da'wah and tore its people apart, so what are supposed to do my brothers?

If we see fire, what are we supposed to do?
Pour gasoline onto it so that it gets bigger?

Or are we to get something that will put it out? May Allāh bless you.
So I have to, and this is Wājib (obligatory) upon me, and I have been saying this before today when I saw this destruction, this calamity; I had to say: 'Be soft, be kind, be brothers, be merciful!"

Now this harshness has turned towards the people of the Sunnah themselves. They left off the people of Bid'aa and they turned to the people of the Sunnah with this destructive harshness which contains oppression and all types of false rules!

So beware! Beware of following this way that will destroy you, the Salafi Da'wah and its people!

I am going through the hadeeth science course, which is available on the Troid store but during the lessons, it is difficult to follow without the handouts, which are being discussed during the lessons. Could Ustaadh Moosaa Richardson please provide the handouts inshaaAllaah if they are available to make it easier for me to follow?

A much needed discussion on the reality of the Jews and the Christians, a heated debate today on social media platforms. Our beloved brother, Abū al-ʿAbbās presents a passage from the Book of Allāh clarifying the belief and disbelief of the People of the Book.

Some years ago, at a convention, we (TROIDStore) were approached by a member of staff, a young University student. The member of staff was a Muslim. After all, it was an "Islamic" convention. He said to us:

"We have been informed that you have a book here, and it is offensive"

I asked him:

"Which book"

He said:

"I don't know, you know"

I said:

"I don't know, you must know, you are making the claim"

He said:

"I will come back" (and he scampered away rushing back to the complainer, seemingly, he didn't even ask what in particular was offensive, his key concern was to defend the honour of the one making the complaint, blindly and heedlessly!)

After and while he returned and said:

"It is here (and he ventured over to a TROID Publication entitled, The Wahhabi Myth)"

I said:

"Which portion of the book is offensive and to who?"

He began to flip through the book, looking for something, but he wasn't too sure what then he said:

"We received a complaint, from one of our speakers (A Jew, yes, it was an "Islamic" convention). He said it was anti-Semitic [offensive to Jews]"

I said:

"What, can you please point out the problem"

He then hurried away and came back with another representative of the convention who backed him up (silently) and finally he said:

"You have something which calls Jews disbelievers"

I said (in disbelief at this statement):

"You mean to tell me that you received a complaint, from a non-Muslim, about a verse or verses in the Qur'an of which our Lord, Allaah, spoke about the Jews? You are not serious?"

He said:

"Can you remove it?"

I said:

"No, I fear disbelief for myself!"

"Invite him to our booth and we can discuss the verses in question, what Allaah has said about the Jews, and invite him to Tawheed, debating with wisdom and good manners, this is what our Messenger taught us"

He said:

"Can you just remove it"

I said:

"No, I can't, its the Qur'aan!"

He said:

"I can't make you remove it....but can you just remove it?"

I said:

"No, you are wrong, and this is not how to call Jews or any non-Muslims to Islam by censuring the speech of Allaah, your approach is wrong and you should be ashamed of yourself"

He then left and did not return.

So this is an example of how seriously some Muslims attempt to preserve the Jews and Christians within some imaginary status between Islam and disbelief of which they themselves cannot understand or explain but they simply throw out the term "Ahlul-Kitaab" as a barzakh between Islam and kufr. Ready, even, to censor the verses of the Qur'an to please a non-Muslim. So take heed of the audio above. This belief of Jews/Christians not being kuffar is widespread in the philosophically laden MSAs, that seem to operate on the basis of "your reality is what you want to make it" and "There is no right answer" in their approach to da'wah, instead of following the Book and the Sunnah, their 'intellect' is far too developed for that apparently.
